Abstract

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron research facility under construction in southern Sweden. The facility will produce a wide range of radionuclides including 148Gd, 187W, 172Hf, 182Ta and 178nHf that could be released into the environment in an accident scenario. Detection limits for these contaminants in soil were estimated to be in the mg k-1 range for ICP-MS and <3 Bq per 200 ml soil for gamma-ray spectroscopy.
